Happy New Year!

As we count down the minutes of 2012 and move into the first minutes of 2013... I can't help but reflect on the past year even though I promised myself I wasn't going to do a year in review post. :) But just a few things tonight:

♥-The other day, Owen made his goal of $1000!!! Now.... Michelle gets to be pied!!! :)

♥-Owen's birthday was sometime in the month of December.... He turned 5 years old. Sweet boy spent another year without a family. When will his turn come??

♥-My little brother Elijah came home two years ago today!! It hasn't been the easiest two years, but it's been an amazing two years watching him learn and grow!! Go see pictures on my mom's blog. :)

♥-The law was signed by Putin... banning all adoptions of Russian orphans by Americans. Not all hope is lost, as there is a lawyer working on an amendment that will allow SN adoptions. Please keep praying!!!

♥-I look forward to seeing what the new year brings for everyone, and what it will bring in the world of orphan advocating. Each year always brings new adventures, the only question is what they will be.

Have a happy and safe 2013 everyone!!!
